PROJECTS
Several projects that I am currently participating in or have participated in in the past.
Latest Projects
ToNoWaste is a project funded by Horizon Europe, and started in 2022. Across pilot cities, the project aims at developing and measuring the impact of interventions to diminish food waste.
FETE (Food Waste: From Excess to Enough) is a project funded by NWO, and started in 2020. The food system aims at providing large amounts of food anywhere, anytime, at expense of extensive food waste. This project investigates changes in the food system, focusing on both consumer and retail concepts, to obtain a transition from having excess to having enough.

The NUDGE project was conducted by a consortium of Wageningen Universiteit, Schuttelaar & Partners, HAS KennisTransfer and the Restaurant of the Future. The goal was to determine which nudges can stimulate the choice of sustainable and healthful products. More info on: http://www.schuttelaar.nl/nieuws/654.
